    This sermon is intended to question why there often seems to be a shortage of joy in the lives of God’s people, and to call God’s people to "rejoice" and give thanks!

    I. When my father, Rev. Charles Wesley Bradford died, my mother gave me all my father’s old sermon notes and some manuscripts. Among these files were, I believe, also some things that either belonged to my grandfather Rev. Ernest Bradford or to my mother’s father Dr. Rev. Dewey Whitwell. AMong ...read more

    Because Jesus continues to forgive us we will be victorious in our ongoing battle against the sin that lives within each one of us.

    Perhaps it’s not so difficult to consider that God is willing to forgive us the first time we sin. Especially if we learn from those mistakes and vow never to commit that same sin again. But what about after we have repented, after we have promised never to repeat that disgrace (that kind of lie, ...read more

  • How To Tell If Your Spiritual Health Is Good

    Contributed by Brian Atwood on Jun 20, 2003
    based on 179 ratings
     | 26,673 views

    Our English word "hygiene" comes from the Greek word for "sound" (sound doctrine; sound faith; sound speech) used in the Pastoral Letters - this sermon evaluates these signs of good spiritual health.

    Going to the doctor for a checkup is something a lot of people do religiously. They want to make sure their health is not failing in ways they can’t detect on their own. Not a bad idea. Likewise we are prone to miss some signs of poor spiritual health if we don’t check up on it regularly. In ...read more

    Corinth has been long noted as a church with problems… and one of those problems was disruptions, disruptions during worship.

    I read Warren Wiersbe exposition of this passage and some of the comments are from him and Richard Pratt, "Holman New Testament Commentary." I Cor. 11:1-16 "Church Order" He came shuffling in… the service had already begun… almost no one noticed him yet everyone noticed him. He smelled of B.O., ...read more

    Since the earliest days of man when Eve uttered these words, “"The serpent deceived me, and I ate.’’ (Genesis 3:13b NKJV) we have attempted to blame Satan for every time we go astray.

    One of the most powerful weapons of spiritual warfare that God has given to His children is fasting ... it will highly strengthen you spiritually. It is being hungry for God and feasting in the Holy Spirit leading to a REVIVAL.

    Opening illustration: A priest and a rabbi are discussing the pros and cons of their various faiths, and inevitably the discussion turns to repentance. The rabbi explains Yom Kippur, the solemn Day of Atonement, a day of fasting and penitence, while the priest tells him all about Lent, and its 40 ...read more
